Ueshima RTM Friction Tester (MODEL FR-7225)

Outline

RTM Friction Tester enables to evaluate friction characteristics of tire tread compound in Dry, Wet and Ice conditions. Friction coefficient over slip ratio (μ-S curve) can be plotted in a single test by sweeping the slip ratio.

RTM Friction Tester enables to evaluate friction characteristics of tire tread compound on material testing basis, and can be tested in Dry, Wet, Ice conditions on ring shaped road surface. Test is performed by pressing specimen on constantly rotating ring shaped wheel at free rolling condition, or with slip ratio applied in 0 to +/- 95% range and measuring the friction force. Also, max. 30deg. slip angle can be applied on the specimen against it’s tangential line.

Applications

  • Traction (Acceleration, Braking)Measurement
  • Rolling Resistance Measurement
  • Cornering Force Measurement

Features

  • Friction test at Dry, Wet, Ice conditions can be performed with one equipment.
  • Traction (Acceleration, Braking) test changing slip ratio during 1 test can be performed.
  • Friction force(Rolling Resistance) Measurement at free rolling condition can be performed.
  • Max. 30deg. slip angle can be applied between sample and test road. (Automatic setting)
  • Specimen taken from actual tire tread can be glued on the sample for testing.
  • Chamber and water temperature can be controlled individually.
  • Ice road surface can be made in the test chamber.

Test Conditions

  • Road condition (Dry, Wet, Ice)
  • Slip ratio (road based)
  • Load
  • Speed
  • Temperature chamber, water temperature

Software Functions

  • Test condition setup and test start command
  • Making a µ-S curve by data acquisition
  • Making a Torque-Time curve by a free-rolling test
  • Making a Fy-Time curve by a free-rolling test
  • Making a µ-Time curve in a constant slip ratio test
